Vials are typically filled up with water and are most commonly used in the Herblore skill to make potions or mixes. Upon finishing a potion, the empty vial is left in the player's inventory; however with completion of Alfred Grimhand's Barcrawl, players may speak to the barbarian guard outside of the Barbarian Outpost to learn how to automatically smash vials upon finishing a potion. This feature also works in free-to-play. The player may also toggle this feature from the settings menu.

Trivia

• Drinking a Cadava potion is the only reliable way for a free-to-play skiller ironman to obtain a vial, since a limpwurt root (which is needed as an ingredient in all of the Apothecary's potions) can only be obtained through combat.
